Liberals aren’t in power for Canadians they’re in power for themselves. I’ve never seen more selfish, gaslighting people in my life

Sadly the elbows up voter is totally unaware-they celebrate the freebies being the shallow thinkers that they are.

Only someone with a non functioning, drug addled or mad cow addled brain would believe this is Trump’s fault.

Technical recession or what? This bamboozled is the same as Prime Minister, Carney has proposed separating government finances into:

an operating budget (day-to-day spending), and

a capital budget (long-term investments such as infrastructure).

Trying to hide out of control spending.

Downsizing the government is the best way to improve the economy. Less government = less corruption = less waste.

Couldn’t agree more Brian, subsidies are an admission of failure.

There is a large ‘factual handicapped’ portion of this country that has been celebrating for 11 years!

At community mail box today I saw one retired couple picking up their grocery cheque today . They live in a 1.500,000$$ house and drive nice newer car.

A lot of these welfare programs should also have net worth tests.

That would be discrimination against wealthy boomers who, coincidentally, tend to vote Liberal.

I got squat - living on CPP/OAS/RRIF withdrawls and savings. No grocery money

What I said when I saw Frankie Bubbles flexing about welfare payments. It is the sort of thing you should keep to yourself.

Canada is in deep, deep trouble. Deeper than I’ve ever seen. It’s deep, because those in power do not recognize the problems we face. The alternative is, they are managing the decline, and hence why they aren’t solving for anything.

I want to blame Trump to a degree. Its fine to say we cant use him as an excuse, and rightly so, but those tarriffs and companies going to the USA.

Bill c69 Carney said he'd never reverse it. But as professor Kam says, its our bread and butter.

I dont need to read stats ( although good) to know were in a decline.. we experience it every time we shop with less and less money..

I find it insulting that the liberals took a 10% raise on their $200,000 salaries who does that?

And the fact liberals are still in charge, humiliating. At least they made Trudeau step down. Geez!!

They are laughing at us.. you know when the top players on a hockey team heckle the losing team.. a fight usually breaks out!

Makes for good tv.. lol

The read on this is pretty simple. Compete with the neighbour, or lose the economic advantage to them. Unfortunately, the powers that be in Canada are using the US as a scape goat to liquidate our assets and benefit themselves. This can’t last, it has an ending.

You’re right though, it is very insulting and they are laughing at us

A retired person, living on CPP/OAS and savings, I didn't get the grocery money. I DID get $29.32 TPS/GST. So what exactly is the criteria?

John Powell's avatar

So I catch your screed while visiting the grocery store. Well; to get a decent price on 100% whole wheat dempsters I buy three to get the princely price of 2.65 each. Rinseaid for the dishwasher is half the price of name brand finish rinse aid 4.79 to 11.99.

Lettuce is 3.99

Fkn Carney spent more money on one inflight air trip menu to Europe than I’ll make in three years. Make that five years.

Now your earnest column is decrying “celebration of economic failure “

WTF?

Fkn Carney is an abject liar and a damn thief

Who the hell voted for this deceiving imbecile ?

Seniors, retired can only make $25,000 to qualify.
